Win + Linux = One cd boot menu?

Post by ayu »

I have asked about this before in IRC but i can't remember the answers and i don't have the old logs left ^^ so here i am again...asking

I am going to make a service DVD with the following

1: One folder containing all the tools i could ever possibly need
2: One folder containing a Linux live distro
3: One folder containing a Windows version (XP)


I need a way to make a boot menu for the DVD so that when i start the comp with the DVD inserted it would give me a menu where i could choose to either install Windows or start with the live distro.

Ideas anyone...?

Thanks in advance =)

well, there are different ways, you can do it by hand:

or use an app:

well, it's shareware....but.... :-99

creating mixed DVDs (Linux and Windows) seems to be a little more complicated, so maybe it's the best you try the app first.... :wink:
